wanted to know how many of you are also into coins, if you are post a picture of some of yours and we will make thes the General spot to discus coins[]
I HAVE A FEW BUT REALLY NOT INTO THEM. I DO LOVE THE MORGAN SILVER DOLLAR I WON FROM MATT!!![GUNTHERHESS] ALSO LIKE MY 1863 INDIAN HEAD PENNY. ONE LAST THAT WHEN I GOT IT THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BE RICH,BUT HAVE LEARNED IT IS WORTH LITTLE. IT IS A LINCOLN PENNY THAH IS SO MISTRUCK,THERE IS ONLY BOUGHT A 1/8TH INCH [?] IS STAMPED. CAN BARELY SEE IT IS A LINCOLN. LOOKS WAY MORE LIKE A BLANK COIN. SORRY NO PICS!
I used to be huge into coins, not as crazy for them now, but I still collect. I have a bunch of morgans and peace dollars, some large cents, indian heads, a 3 cent piece, some early 1800's english coins, a 1767 1/8 real (Pieces of eight), silver dimes, half dollars, quarters, a civil war token, and hundreds of wheat cents. Here's one of my favorites, an 1853 half dime:
My family was into it, but after my father's death, I'm sure it stopped as he was the driving force behind it. I had a small collection, but just only save things I stumbled upon, but dont actively look.
I'm on the end of my second immersion into coin collecting. The first being at age nine until my teens. I'm about to sell off what I have collected since the resurgence into it back in 2002 which really kinda died off after picking up bottles. I'm keeping some of them as a type collection; however, being a "thrill of the hunt" kind of person once the hunt gets dull I move on to other things. That's the good thing about bottles, and the website, I'm always going to be finding that new bottle or bit of information for many years to come. Let the hunt continue!
